@Vivian

Hope your daughter has a good divorce attorney?

Whats good for the goose!  The concept of alimony is sexist.  State laws need to be revisited.  Divide common property, provide for child support and both parties get a job!!!  Alimony for either party??  Sh#t no.

Women ask for large sums from their celebrity husbands... so why not from the wife?

If he can show he should receive that (as a wife would), then why not? 

Being honest, I would hit my husband in the wallet if we divorced: the house, child support, alimony, bills paid, you name it. Absofreakinglutely. Gratned, my situation is a bit different and he's not a celebrity but yeah.

I love Mary J Blige. I am never really impressed when I see a spouse who can work, that doesn't. Now if they had children that he stayed home to take care of and stopped working in order to do so, I would think that he was owed. That isn't the case here though and I think it makes him look bad. 

Plus, doesn't Mary have some pretty sizable tax liens totalling around 4 million dollars? Isn't he or wasn't he her manager who was supposed to be handling that kind of stuff? If that is the case it looks like he didn't do a very good job. Sounds like he needs to get a job.

@Irshgrl31201  First off, I know absolutely nothing about their relationship except seeing them on TV all goo goo gaga in love. Just to play devil's advocate, lots of performers want their significant other to be around all the time, keep them company on the road, keep them from being tempted while apart, etc. Perhaps she wanted him tagging along instead of working. If so, he should be treated just the same as he would if the roles were reversed. 

Just stating another viewpoint. He might just be a bum lol.

Yes, I do agree with you @Reba055 in that regard. If he had a career before (which I don't know if he did or not) and she wanted him to give that up to be around for her I do agree she should pay to get him back on his feet for the time he lost doing that. I do know he was her manager but I don't know exactly HOW involved he was supposed to be. 

[Puzzle Piece]

He can ask but it doesn't mean he will prevail. 

[Catfancy]

Maybe he will find another celebrity to sponge off of.  What a man.

He needs to get a job and support himself! This idea that someone needs to live off of someone else's income is ridiculous! I can understand supporting children. It does not matter if it's a male or female to me. Get off your rump and get to work!
